Victorian French Amethyst Love Token Spinner Fob Pendant sodalite and dangle from ruby topsDATE: Victorian, c. 1840 A fine French antique spinner fob set with an amethyst, carved on all three sides. One face features the name "Katherine", and on the other side, the words "Va Ou Je Voudrais Etre". The third side features the words "C'est moi". Put together, it loosely translates to something like. "Katherine, I wish it was me" or "go where I would like to be". Maybe given to someone as a love token, knowing that "Katherine" doesn't love them
